Brand Strategy and Identity

Brand strategy and identity building includes hearing from you, your board, staff, constituents and donors, followed by analyzing quantitative data and learning your target’s competitive options. A strategic plan is devised to outline how to differentiate and better establish the organization’s brand identity, personality and voice, define its vision, mission, core values, and target audience profile(s). Key areas for growth and opportunity are defined, including benchmarks with clear measurable objectives. Often, a brand guide is created or evolved including logo design, usage guidelines, slogan, color palette, fonts, image usage, and templates for advertising, presentations, collateral, digital marketing and social media.

Public relations is the strategic practice of managing communication and relationships with the public, including donors, volunteers, media and the community. It raises awareness about your mission, builds trust and attracts support through storytelling, press releases, media outreach, social engagement in the effort to secure funding, advocacy and volunteerism for programs. Our public relations experts act as spokespeople for your organization to provide substantial media exposure, speech writing services, media training, identification and acquisition of speaking opportunities, and building brand and managing presence at events. Crisis management is also a valuable function of public relations.

Social Media

Social media includes specific online platforms that allow users to create, share, and interact with content based on shared interests. This includes text, images, and videos, to connect with and support your cause and build virtual communities. The goal being to essentially build communities, advocates, supporters, facilitate communication and information exchange between people on the internet. Popular examples include Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, Linked In and Tik Tok. User-generated content, real-time communication, video-streaming, photo-sharing, are all employed to create and build connections.

Development & Outreach

Development and outreach involves originating a strategic plan that actively supports sourcing potential and current sponsors (companies or organizations providing significant financial support) and donors (individuals giving financial contributions) to solicit their support for a cause, event, or organization. This is most often accomplished through personalized communication, customized presentations and engagement strategies to cultivate donor stewardship and encourage continued support and giving. Typically, corporate, community and faith leaders, government officials and business influencers are engaged. Our services include crafting compelling “case for support” documents, development of donor-advised and endowment funds, and proposal writing for grant application.
